Xess test chambers feature energy-efficient design

The Xess range of liquid-nitrogen-cooled test chambers from Design Environmental features an energy-efficient design.

The test chambers are able to withstand the rapid temperature cycling requirements of test procedures such as Ess, Halt Hass, Harass and Hast, which are implemented to cause different rates of expansion and contraction in the various test components, thereby imparting stress and promoting premature failures to improve long-term reliability.

High-velocity airflow delivered uniformly throughout the chamber working space enables rapid air temperature change and also assists rapid temperature change in the test item.

Standard features include: a temperature range of -100C to +200C; a temperature rate of change of 80C/min; a 100mm cable port; a stainless-steel wire-mesh shelf; a spectrum control system; RS485 communications; and an independent over- and under-temperature alarm.
